I can't believe some of you call me a redneck, and I'm one of the few that seems to grasp this fact.

It's like saying all Canadians suck. Well, wait. Let me think of a better example.

Oh, I'm pretty sure majority of Muslims are quite sane. But while the actions fundamentalists use may be seen as against islamic teachings, their goal is not.

I disagree. I assume that's just your opinion. If it you're saying it's based in fact, I'd like to request a source.

I've read excerpts from the Koran and it was very explicit, with no room for doubt, in regard to killing.

Eh, I think that's just the closest guy with a lighter.

They should make flame retardant flags... They catch fire way too easily.

[Elok]

Come to think of it, could one dye flags with chemicals which form toxic compounds when burned? I know I shouldn't give Republicans ideas, but one has to wonder...

I've always loved that picture. While I fully support a person's right to free speech (burning a flag in protest I feel does come under this right), I just love it when stupid people hurt themselves doing stupid things... like lighting a flag on fire and getting burned. Morans (sic).

Finding a good replacement for oil may be the best way to fight terrorism

Most clinic bombings didnt result in deaths, so the above is a limited sample. IIUC almost all were by Protestants.

Please note that I mentioned "violent attacks", which includes more than bombings. You're right, most abortion clinic bombers have been at least respectful of human life to the extent that they set their devices to go off when no one was in the clinic. This respect for life clearly sets them apart from the kind of terrorists we've been talking about in this thread. In fact the sole death caused by a clinic bombing was an accident, a security guard was in a places he wasn't supposed to be. The other three deaths that have occurred due to attacks on abortion clinics were due to shooting, two of whom were killed by a young Catholic man. I don't know about you but to me the deliberate snuffing of life as a means of protest is an order of magnitude more serious than the destruction of property in which the perpetrator makes an effort to avoid injuring people. I'm not condoning blowing up abortion clinics, I'm just saying that willful destruction of life is differenf than destruction of property. I think that the former is worse.

If you do her uncles will be forced to stone her to death. Do you want that on your conscience?

[SlowwHand]

Wouldn't it kind of negate their protest of killing humans, if they killed humans?

Rational People

would think so.

But that would mean applying the concepts of Logos to God....

Or applying the concepts of Logos to two crazy, fringe nutjobs who in no way whatsoever represent all Christians or all of the pro-life movement.

[SlowwHand]

Kind of like Muslims?

[Barnabas]

But they kill a lot more than 4 people in a decade and a half

[Dr Strangelove]

Since when did quantity count?
